Kim said the first anniversary of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un's assumption of supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army is drawing near, expressing excitement as follows:

The Korean people are blessed with illustrious generals and supreme commanders through generations.

Kim Jong Un's assumption of the KPA supreme commandership is a special event in the nation's history.

He is a distinguished man possessed of personality and disposition, matchless courage and grit as a great man.

It is our nation's biggest fortune to hold Kim Jong Un, heaven-sent brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu, as the core of unity and leadership.

Kim Jong Un was always together with General Secretary Kim Jong Il on the Songun road.

He put forward the KPA as the scout and strong mainstay of the Songun revolution.

He wisely led the whole army and people to turn out in the high-pitched drive for great surge, bringing continuous miracles and merits to the country.

The people in the homeland are cherishing deep in minds the high pride of holding another peerlessly brilliant Songun commander in high esteem.

His noble loyalty, matchless grit and protean stratagem ensured the success of the satellite launch.

As he leads the revolution, the might of the country is being fully demonstrated day by day.

All fellow countrymen are extending the warmest thanks to him.
